B. New York. Based in NYC/NJ.
I am a designer and artist working across textiles, surfaces, graphics, and visual communication. I am interested in how color, texture, and pattern can shape the way we experience a space and ourselves. My practice combines material exploration with visual communication, bringing together weaving, print, drawing, and digital processes.
